What is Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

Infrastructure as Code, IaC, DevOps, Automation, Cloud Infrastructure
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a modern approach to managing and provisioning IT infrastructure through code, enabling automation, consistency, and scalability in cloud environments. This practice allows teams to deploy and manage infrastructure rapidly and reliably using scripts and configuration files.
// Example of Infrastructure as Code using PHP with a hypothetical IaC tool '1.0.0', 'resources' => [ 'server' => [ 'type' => 't2.micro', 'ami' => 'ami-12345678', 'count' => 2 ], 'database' => [ 'engine' => 'mysql', 'instanceClass' => 'db.t2.micro', 'allocatedStorage' => 20 ] ] ]; // Provisioning infrastructure provisionInfrastructure($infraConfig); ?>
